Chapter 24 Five Ridges and Six Beasts

"By the way, how was your chat with Qiu Wenyan?

I can tell you, seize the opportunity yourself.

The little girl is pretty, has a good personality, and has a good family background. Her father is from the district... and will be helpful to you in the future..." Ye Lihua suggested.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I promise to get it!

I have invited Qiu Wenyan to have lunch with me, will you come with me?"

"I won't be a light bulb anymore.

You move very quickly! Come on!" Ye Lihua said with a pleased smile.

"Okay, go ahead! Go home to get the money in the evening."

"Okay! Now you're busy, I'm leaving!"

After leaving Ye Lihua's office and coming to the big office outside, Zhang Junping winked at Qiu Wenyan and told her that he was waiting outside.

At this time, Qiu Wenyan had already realized that Zhang Junping was not here to come to her in the first place. It was just that she had a guilty conscience and overreacted.

He bared his teeth at Zhang Junping and told him with his eyes, just wait for me, I will bite you to death when I turn around.

Zhang Junping came back with a look that I was waiting for.

After a brief eye contact, Zhang Junping left the Light Industry Bureau.

BJ Siheyuan is the cultural business card of BJ Siheyuan. Each set of Siheyuan has research value.

Zhang Junping didn't go anywhere else. He squatted at the entrance of an alley not far from the Light Industry Bureau, staring at the roof of the courtyard and studying the mythical beasts on the roof.

The roof ridges of ancient buildings can be divided into three styles, the hard mountain type, the hanging mountain type and the verandah style. The hard mountain type is used by ordinary people's homes, the hanging mountain type is used in commercial buildings, and the verandah style, as the name suggests,

, is a structure used in palaces and was an exclusive structure for royal buildings in the past.

Ordinary people are not allowed to use it, otherwise it will be against the rules, and they will be exiled at the least, and their homes will be ransacked at the worst.

The roof of a house has five main ridges, vertical ridge, halberd ridge, surrounding ridge and corner ridge.

There are kissing beasts or looking beasts at both ends of the main ridge, and there are hanging beasts on the vertical ridge. Therefore, a word is derived from this: five spines and six beasts.

It refers to the five ridges of the roof and the six mythical beasts on the ridges.

In ancient times, not only the roof ridges were particular about, but also the arrangement and number of mythical animals on the roof ridges.

Roof beasts began to appear in the Han Dynasty, and then continued to increase, reaching their peak in the Qing Dynasty, forming a team of roof beasts.

The leader of these mythical beasts is the "Fengqi Immortal", followed by the dragon, phoenix, lion, Pegasus, seahorse, Suan Ni, Xiyu, Xiezhi, bullfighting, and Xingshi.

According to the regulations of the Qing Dynasty, the animals behind the immortal should be an odd number and arranged in an order of three, five, seven and nine.

Depending on the scale and level of the building, the number also varies. The greater the number, the higher the level. Most are odd numbers one, three, five, seven, and nine. Only the Jinluan Hall of the Forbidden City is different. There is a tenth beast "Xingshi", which is unparalleled in the world.

.The second one is the Qianqing Palace, where the emperor handles government affairs on a daily basis, with nine in total; the Kunning Palace originally had seven; the Six East and West Palaces have five; and the auxiliary palaces have one to three.

Time slipped away quietly while Zhang Junping was studying the mythical beast on the roof.

Soon, it was time to get off work at noon.

I saw Qiu Wenyan alone, walking out of the Light Industry Bureau in a leisurely manner. Her footwork was graceful and graceful. Coupled with Qiu Wenyan's excellent figure, she was really looking forward to it.

After walking out of the Light Industry Bureau, Qiu Wenyan looked around for Zhang Junping.

Zhang Junping quickly waved to Qiu Wenyan, indicating that he was here.

Qiu Wenyan saw Zhang Junping and walked towards Zhang Junping unhurriedly.

Walking about ten meters away from Zhang Junping, Qiu Wenyan stopped, looked at Zhang Junping, showed two small fangs, and said three words: "Big bad guy!"

Then, with a sweet smile, he turned around and left quickly.

This operation made Zhang Junping dumbfounded.

"Hey! Comrade Qiu Wenyan, what do you mean?" Zhang Junping quickly called her.

"You bad guy, you can eat it yourself! Sister, I won't accompany you anymore!" Qiu Wenyan turned around and said proudly with her head held high.

Zhang Junping smiled, this girl is really interesting, she is so upright and upright when she lets her own pigeons fly.

Afraid that he would not know that he was being let go, he even came over to say something.

The little girl doesn't understand her brother's character too well. If you do this, your brother's reputation will be completely ruined.

Zhang Junping walked a few steps, held Qiu Wenyan's hand with one hand, and hugged Qiu Wenyan's shoulder with the other, "Hey, little lady, you are here, where are you going? Stay and eat with your brother."

Let’s go!”

Qiu Wenyan was directly stunned by Zhang Junping's operation. How could there be such a shameless person?

Just as she was about to struggle, Zhang Junping whispered in her ear: "Don't move, don't you know how charming you are?

If you move again, I won't be able to help kiss you!"

With one sentence, Qiu Wenyan was so frightened that she didn't dare to struggle anymore.

Being held by the hand and hugged by the shoulders has already made Qiu Wenyan blush with embarrassment. If she is kissed again, she will really not be able to survive.

Just like that, Zhang Junping walked into the alley and came to the door of a small restaurant.

Zhang Junping also knew that enough was enough. When he walked into the alley, he let go of his arm around his shoulders and just held Qiu Wenyan's hand.

In this era, it is normal to hold hands in public when falling in love, but hugging shoulders is a bit out of line.

Of course, in private, as long as both parties are willing, nothing goes beyond the scope.

Seeing Zhang Junping let go and no longer hugging her, Qiu Wenyan let out a sigh of relief and looked around to see if anyone familiar had seen her.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she let go of her worries and stepped on Zhang Junping's instep hard to relieve her anger.

He shook off Zhang Junping's hand and walked into the small restaurant with his head held high.

He secretly swore in his heart that he would order more dishes soon so that Zhang Junping would be exhausted.

Zhang Junping found this small restaurant by the way when he was studying the Rooftop Beast.

Through observation, this small restaurant should be one of the better ones around.

The decoration of the small restaurant is very characteristic of the times. As soon as you enter the door, there is a big banner saying that you are not allowed to beat or abuse customers without reason.

This means that if there is a reason, you can beat and abuse customers.

On the right side of the door is a long and tall cashier counter, which is connected to the kitchen at the back.

There is a large window in the kitchen, and you can see inside at a glance from the outside.

Don't think about menus in this day and age.

There is a large blackboard on the wall just behind the cashier, which says, Dishes are available today.

"Yanzi, let's see what you like to eat? Whatever you want!" Zhang Junping looked like a nouveau riche, patting his pocket, "Brother, I'm not short of money!"

"Hmph!" Qiu Wenyan snorted in protest, said nothing, and looked up at the blackboard.

"Comrade, let's have some shredded pork with vinegar, some hot and sour cabbage, and a pound of steamed buns, that's all." Zhang Junping said he wanted to go hungry, but in the end he only ordered two dishes, one meat and one vegetarian.

"Comrade, I don't want that steamed bun, but a pound of dumplings! Stuffed with pork and green onions." Zhang Junping quickly said and changed the staple food.

"The total is two yuan and thirty cents, half a catty of food stamps, and six taels of meat stamps.

The deposit for the plates and bowls is two yuan." The waiter clicked his abacus beads without raising his head, and then quoted the price.

The meals in this era were all made with real ingredients, and the ratio of dumplings, meat fillings and flour was one to one.

One pound of dumplings, four ounces of meat, one ounce of green onions, and half a pound of flour.
